The engagement was conducted in accordance with 19 O.S. § 171. We wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the assistance and cooperation extended to our office during the course of our engagement. The Office of the State Auditor and Inspector is committed to serve the public interest by providing independent oversight and to issue reports that serve as a management tool to the State to ensure a government which is accountable to the people of the State of Oklahoma. Sincerely, STEVE BURRAGE, CPA STATE AUDITOR & INSPECTOR Denise Heavner Cleveland County Assessor Cleveland County Courthouse Norman, Oklahoma 73069 For the purpose of complying with 19 O.S. § 171, we have performed the following procedures for March 2, 2009: ? Verify that equipment items on hand agree with inventory records as per 19 O.S. § 178.1. ? Verify that the amount of total claims approved for the operation of said Office is not in excess of limitations imposed by 19 O.S. § 347. ? Verify that the Office is not exceeding the maximum amount of cash authorized for their change needs per 19 O.S. § 682. ? Verify that a monthly report of the Office is on file with the County Clerk per 19 O.S. § 684. ? Verify that the Officers' depository account balances reconcile with the County Treasurer's records and that undeposited cash reconciles to receipts. Information addressed in this report is the representation of the respective county officers. Our county officer turnover engagement was limited to the statutory procedures described above and was less in scope than an examination or audit performed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you. Based on our procedures performed, the amount of total claims approved for the operation of said Office was not in excess of limitations; the Office was not exceeding the maximum amount of cash authorized for their change needs; a monthly report of the Office was on file with the County Clerk; the Officers' depository account balances reconciled with the County Treasurer's records and undeposited cash reconciled to receipts. With respect to equipment items on hand agreeing with inventory records, our finding is included in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses. 2 This report is intended solely for the information and use of the management of the County and should not be used for any other purpose. This report is also a public document pursuant to the Oklahoma Open Records Act (51 O.S. § 24A.1 et seq.), and shall be open to any person for inspection and copying. STEVE BURRAGE, CPA STATE AUDITOR & INSPECTOR June 23, 2009 COUNTY OFFICER TURNOVER STATUTORY REPORT DENISE HEAVNER CLEVELAND COUNTY ASSESSOR MARCH 2, 2009 3 SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND RESPONSES Finding 2009-1 – Fixed Assets Inventory Criteria: 19 O.S. § 178.1 states, "The board of county commissioners in each county of this state shall take, or cause to be taken, an inventory of all working tools, apparatus, machinery and equipment belonging to the county or leased or otherwise let to it or to any department thereof, other than that which is affixed to and made part of lands and buildings, the cost of which as to each complete working unit thereof is more than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), and thereafter maintain or cause to be maintained a continuous inventory record…biennially thereafter, or oftener…" Condition: The County Assessor's inventory listing, on file with the County Clerk's office, has not been updated. One item could not be located, County ID Number H205-9, a digital camera with a serial number of FKB9179. There were 64 items on their inventory records that were noted as disposed of in the Board of County Commissioner's minutes that have not been deleted from the inventory listing. (See Appendix A.) Effect: Inventory items were not accurately accounted for and the County's assets may not be safeguarded. Recommendation: OSAI recommends equipment inventory information be periodically reviewed, reconciled, and updated to detect errors and to maintain an accurate inventory record. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: The newly elected Assessor stated that the digital camera broke and was returned to the company and that the company refunded the County the original cost.
